Wireless Gigabit (Wigig) Market Size will Escalate Rapidly in the Near Future

Wireless technology is in vogue at present. People have a huge preference for wireless devices because of its speed and convenience. The most recent innovation in wireless technology is Wireless Gigabit or WiGig. In simple terms WiGig is a wireless technology which operates in a wireless platform over the bandwidth of 60 Hz or more. WiGig is thus designed so as to facilitate faster communication and rapid data transmission. It also possesses more speed than WiFi.

WiGig also ensures high level security and accuracy in data transfer. The current market for WiGig technology is at an introductory phase and the dubbed WiGig is due to be launched in products next year. It will enable users to connect their mobiles and computers without wires.

The Wireless Gigabit (Wigig) Market is at a nascent stage. This market at present is driven by certain influences like rapid technological innovation in the field of communications and the need for more secure communications. WiGig is expected to revolutionize the communications market. It is expected that WiGig will speed up the current WiFi system almost 10 times.


The major holdback of the WiGig market is the technological constraint. The current WiGig market is estimated to run on frequencies over 60Hz; at present 2.4 to 5 GHz frequencies are used in current WiFi products. This will require the upgrade of the presently used wireless communication interfaces.

The major opportunity in the WiGig market is the advent of more sophisticated communication devices like ultrabooks, tablets, highly advanced smart phones etc. These devices require instantaneous synchronization and data sharing and WiGig has the potential of serving these devices.

The overall WiGig market can be segmented on the basis of types of products in which WiGig is used and the various applications of WiGig. The WiGig enabled products can be classified as communication devices i.e. mobile phones, computers, docking stations, tablets and others, consumer electronics such as TVs and digital cameras and networking devices. On the basis of applications the WiGig market is classified as wireless docking systems, wireless display systems and wireless backup via synchronization systems.


The major players in the WiGig market at present are, Nitero, Wilocity, Blu Wireless technology, Cisco, Nvidia and NEC Corporation. Since this technology is at its introductory phase, the domestic players do not have much of a role to play. The other players in the global WiGig market are Silicon image, Qualcomm Atheros, Azurewave, Broadcom etc.

Wi-Fi Chipset Market Poised for an Explosive Growth in the Near Future

Wi-Fi is a technology based on the IEEE 802.11 standard which connects two or more devices using wireless communication within a limited area such as office building, school, home, or computer laboratory. Usage of Wi-Fi has increased significantly in residential and commercial places since the last several years due to the ease of its installation and operation. Currently, a number of devices including video-game consoles, digital cameras, digital audio players, digital printers, smart TVs, tablets, phones, and personal computers are available with built-in Wi-Fi technology. These devices can connect to the internet with the help of wireless access point or wireless LAN (Local Area Network) and can provide control and monitoring of a system from a remote location. Wi-Fi chipsets usually operate in 2.4 gigahertz UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band and 5.8 gigahertz SHF (Super high frequency) band. Wi-Fi Alliance, comprising more than 375 organizations worldwide, establishes and enforces W...

Keyless Entry System Market: Industry Outlook, Growth Prospects and Key Opportunities

Keyless entry system is technology that provides physical access to an individual inside any premises or automotive without the use of a mechanical key for performing the locking and unlocking operation. Keyless entry system provides an enhanced convenience and security to the users. In case of a keyless entry system, the users get secure and authorized access to an automotive or premise with the use of various external devices or gesture such as a keyless fob or a smart card, or by the use of their own voice, fingerprints or facial recognition among others. Owing to rapidly increasing adoption of smart technologies across various application sectors, keyless entry systems is increasingly installed among users especially in the transportation sector, government sector, banking financial services and insurance (BFSI) sectors and hospitality industry among others. The global Keyless Entry System market is anticipated to experience a robust growth during the forecast period from 2017 to...

Li-Fi Market - Driving factor is the increase in demand for high-speed data transmission

Li-Fi (light fidelity) is a visible light communications (VLC) system which provides wireless communications at very high speed. Li-Fi is a technology used for wireless communication by using light to transmit data. Li-Fi uses LED bulbs for data transmission. Li-Fi provides higher speed than Wi-Fi. Li-fi technology is faster and it provides more reliable internet connections, and is capable of catering to the demand of high data usage The driving factor for the global Li-Fi market is the increase in demand for high-speed data transmission. Li-Fi technology transmits data at very high speed and is capable of delivering 224GB of data per second. Furthermore, it offers better security as compared to Wi-Fi. Due to its high speed, Li-Fi technology can be widely used in electromagnetic sensitive areas, such as, hospitals, airplanes, and nuclear power plants. Innovation and new product launches are further boosting the growth of the market. For instance, in December 2017, Velmenn introdu...
